Protective helmets must be orange in colour and have temple protection. Helmets must have the boat‟s race number on the top, painted in black and minimum height of 7.5cm.
Helmets must be devoid of dents or splits and any modifications must not infringe on the standard. Bolts used for fittings and attachment of a visor must be small and must not protrude into the inner surface of the helmet. Visors must be devoid of cracks and easily detachable (i.e. not bolted down). Chin straps must be in good condition and operative.
All Protective helmets must comply with the following specifications:
It is mandatory to wear a helmet made to a minimum standard to include UN ECE22-05 or Snell M2000 or M2005 or Snell SA2000 or SA2005.
It is also recommended that helmets are replaced when they reach five years old from date of manufacture. When a helmet is produced for scrutineering the wearer must prove compliance with the above standards; this may be by means of product literature. Once the Scrutineer is satisfied, the helmet will be marked with a “RYA helmet approved” date sticker.
